My dear guests, Ylva (@ylvafalk), Henrietta (@adventurietta) & Emma (emma_beyondgravity), Thank you so much for being part of the show.
You are the embodiment of "Punks@❤️”...

So now, dear listener, just pause, take a big breath and for the next 120mins or so, open your eyes, ears, mind & heart…

Welcome to our world!

Welcome to “Punks@ ❤️”!

Finishing with these few words:

I'm a rebel with a cause,

A non-conformist at my core,

I don't follow society's laws,

I'm punk at heart, forevermore.

My spirit is wild and free,

And I won't be tamed or controlled,

I express my creativity,

With music, art, and clothes that are bold.

I reject the mainstream view,

And embrace the underground scene,

I'm not afraid to be true,

To the person I want to be seen.

I value individuality,

And reject conformity,

I'm punk at heart, can't you see?

It's a way of life, for me.

So let's raise a fist in the air,

And celebrate our punk soul,

We're a community that dares,

To be different, to be whole.

Punk at heart, we'll never change,

Our spirit will always remain,

A symbol of rebellion, strange,

But also a source of pride and gain.

I am because you are because we are, Ubuntu!

Big ups to: @rubywaks; @rogov_rogov; @maxkinsky; @timur_zhumatov_stidio; @viktorherak; @johnkoolrecords; @matthallracing; @patteef

And Craig, our Magician!

Happy New Year everyone!

Over the seasons, we've made a point to showcase what Talent Punk was all about - A statement full of human-ness, a delightful combination of fascinating guests, charming accents, festive vibes, emotional moments, beautiful tunes and vibes.
Touching the splendid and the superb has always been my quest and passion.

We're kicking of this new season by deepening it, by fully immersing ourself in the feeling of awe, the glorious, the resplendent, the transcendent with "Sublime Voices" , Mezzo Soprano/Music Producer -  Yana Mann & Singer Songwriter/Producer/Dancer -  Awir Leon.

"To experience sublime natural beauty is to confront the total inadequacy of language to describe what you see or hear. Words cannot convey the scale of a tone, a voice that is stunning it is felt" Thank you Eleanor Catton

Our season 3 has come to an end, in style, with a treat :)
We travelled far North to Canada in BC & Winnipeg, where we dedicated our last show to Photographer & Outdoorsman Taylor Burk.
Of course, he was not alone, Singer Songwriter & Musician HAVS, delighted us with her soothing, sultry R&B tunes...It was a real treat ❤️

Thank you for another amazing season. We'll be back in 2023 for more talent discovery & exploration.
To all the Punks@❤️ out there, you rock ✌️

"Once you solidify this idea (of letting go) and realise that no one holds power in your life but you, the result is state of the art bliss" HAVS

We are convinced that we make conscious choices, intentions and decisions as we live our lives. But instead it may be that our brain just convinces itself that it made a free choice from the available options after the decision is made…

Are we victims of genetics and environment? Or do we bear responsibility for our choice of action, for decision among alternatives, for discerning good and evil?

Such a dilemma...
In this segment, we look at it throughout the lens of a Pro Wingsuit Skydiver & Athlete - @jokkesommer ,
Pro Skier & Mountaineer - @aurel_lardy and
Musical & Visual Duo - @abraham.fogg @gr3goirev @charly_chivteam

What's French Touch?
The flagship of French creation and creativity? An attitude, a movement, a sound or styles as diverse as the dreamy 70's nostalgia of Air, 80's parties at "Le Palace", the jazzy shuffle of St Germain or the distorted DIY techno of early Daft Punk?

For me, it's an eclectic approach to bending accepted rules and codes. A la fois modern, retro, avant-gardiste, rebel, rock'n roll, sexy, sophisticated, mutlidimensionnel...un "je ne sais quoi"...
Well it's Punk at heart. It's Talent Punk :)
What is it for you?
You'll hear that our Frenchie guests, Mathilde (Dancer/Artist) , Evanna (Singer/Songwriter) and Benoit (Highliner), have all the above.
Between sky and earth, sometime more in the sky, sometime more on earth, let yourself be washed away by their tales, so Frenchie...so French Touch :)

As she says "I feel the power of art now...really, like never before in my life" ❤️

In this 2nd part, we are exploring Angela's passion for Flamenco, the tradition, the teaching , her interpretation, experimentation, research, watch some sublime moves as well as get some insights from Martin into his instinctive creativity and his #minimalistic approach to music.

As Martin put it "Sublime means shivers, when it's the right moment combine with the right things happening in my mind, my head, my brain"

Sure it did happen on that Thursday 31 ❤️

Nadeah's music 🎼 is sublimely beautiful 🤩
We just ❤️ her vibe, as Prince would say:”Baby, you’re a star”✨

We'll leave you with these lyrics from Nadeah's "Lives On The Run" 
"Follow me to the edge of time
The only place that's yours & mine
Come with me to the setting Sun
There's no one living here who's not living on the run"

Endurance  or the ability and the strength to remain active for a long period of time.
To resist, withstand, continue, last, recover from, and have immunity to trauma, wounds, or fatigue.
What does it all mean for two inspiring women who live on the run - Ultra Runner, Lucy Bartholomew & Musician/Singer Songwriter, Nadeah?

Are their "lives on the run" a way to escape? Or does it serve a deeper and higher purpose?

We kicked off our Season 3 "Suspended", confirming that only spirits can fly and our guests are true beautiful ones :)

Thank you to our guests - Nina Lussi , Patrick von Känel and Linden & Romeo from Farr for  letting us into your worlds and sharing your stories. 🙏 ….

You are such a source of inspiration.

Keep jumping, keep having these weightless feelings, keep the magic moments happening, keep creating sublime tunes, keep escaping and keep being suspended, as one of you said “there’s no feeling like it”✨

"Suspended for me is the peaceful moment when the time slows down...you know there will be a beginning and also and end. Ski jumping is actually a great personification of the word" Nina Lussi

Adrenaline - C₉H₁₃NO₃ ...
Also called Epinephrine, is a hormone released by our adrenal gland and some neurons.

Known as the "fight or flight" hormone, Adrenaline is released in response to stressful, exciting, dangerous or threatening situations.

Some extreme athletes live with it every single day... really wanting it... feeling compulsions to take part in exciting, intense and most times dangerous activities... pushing themselves to their physical and mental limits.

Are they only adrenaline rush seekers, addicts or simply mad? Or are they on to something beautifully purposeful?

This is exactly what we are exploring with our 4 guests:
A musician, Olga Kouklaki
A downhill skateboarder, Lisa Peters
A mountain bike rider/BASE jumper, Antoni Villoni
A skier-mountaineer/BASE jumper, Matthias Giraud aka Superfrenchie

🙏 to:
Olga with Dopamine 🔥 🔥
Kate Beth, promo art piece -pure collage genius ✨
Craig, your magic
Karen, your amazing work
Jo, your ongoing support
Talent Tweak, your sponsor

Here's my 1:1 conversation with Professional Skier/BASE Jumper Matthias Giraud aka Superfrenchie as part of the #talentpunk #adrenaline segment.

For "Monsieur tout le monde" Matthias may come across as a mad man, but believe me there's something way more profound about this Frenchie...something that has been stuck in my mind since, and has left me thinking about how I was living my own life.

You have to listen to him to get to understand his Why, to slowly grasp his relationship with risk, danger and emotions, to automatically like his vivacious and fun personality. 
I only have admiration and respect for him, he's a man on a mission and on a deep existential quest...

He's not mad, he's a genius...

I leave you with my fav quote from Matthias: "Death is normal and we all have an expiration date. So live with passion, purpose and unforgettable moments"

You know it immediately when you meet someone who leaves such an impression that you can only feel respect, admiration and inspiration. That is how I felt when I caught up with Damien Mander as he was traveling to Europe. 
Damien addressed my questions with authenticity, humility and determination. 
He's a human on a mission with a great sense of responsibility in speaking and fighting on behalf of those who cannot. 
4 words will remain in my mind when thinking about Damien and his actions - Character, Spirit,  Brave & Vegan...

Mate, you're awesome!

"We are the only species to create the notion of a religion. And the only one to defile what it means to be spiritual on such a grand scale. We are not the main act. We're simply one of the millions of species that has risen and will become extinct. The only difference with us Humans is that we have the capacity to alter the trajectory of our own self created fate. But only if we can learn to include nature in our own selfish equations" Damien Mander - IAPF

Exceeding, surpassing, excelling, outdoing, outstripping and transcending. Whatever you call it, it often implies rising notably above and beyond ordinary limits.

Some see this as a mystical quest, going beyond the ego, the self, the other, space & time...perhaps reaching new levels of consciousness..

We explore it with our guests:
Alexander Nilsson, Swedish Freediving Record Holder/Underwater Explorer;
Jeff Mercier, Ice Climber/Mountain Rescuer; accompanied with some psychill tunes from Dejalum 🔥🔥🔥

"Pushing yourself, your body, when done with the right intention, will help you transform by taking you away from the awareness of just  your body toward the consciousness of your soul"

We did not know whether Lydia would be part of our "Inspiring Avant-Garde Women" liveshow as she was preparing to fly to Pakistan for another mountain adventure.
She was in hotel quarantine in Auckland just winding down from a climb in Nepal.
Her story is fascinating...

In our eyes Lydia is the incarnation of inspiration & avantgarde

Lydia, we just ❤️ what she said about thinking outside the box and finding our inner joy...it definitely can get more fun as we get older ☺️
Keep dreaming, keep taking a walk on the wild side, we’ll keep following you there...

With our noses to the sky and our need to conquer the unknown, humans have always wanted to fly.
Is it only our sense of curiosity or is it in our DNA, in our nature to defy gravity?

Tune in on Friday 26 March at 9am AEDT (25/03 11pm CET, 25/05 3pm PST) as we get together with a Skydiving World Champion, a Music Composer and a Slackliner/Base Jumper.

It's time to trust your instincts, close your eyes and leap...It's time to try defying gravity!
